net: sk_wmem_alloc has initial value of one, not zero

2009-06-17T11:31:25+00:00

commit 2b85a34e911bf483c27cfdd124aeb1605145dc80
(net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
changed initial sk_wmem_alloc value.

Some protocols check sk_wmem_alloc value to determine if a timer
must delay socket deallocation. We must take care of the sk_wmem_alloc
value being one instead of zero when no write allocations are pending.

Reported by Ingo Molnar, and full diagnostic from David Miller.

This patch introduces three helpers to get read/write allocations
and a followup patch will use these helpers to report correct
write allocations to user.

econet: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it by-hand.

net: convert usage of packet_type to read_mostly

2009-03-10T12:22:43+00:00

Protocols that use packet_type can be __read_mostly section for better
locality. Elminate any unnecessary initializations of NULL.

netns: Use net_eq() to compare net-namespaces for optimization.

2008-07-20T05:34:43+00:00

Without CONFIG_NET_NS, namespace is always &init_net.
Compiler will be able to omit namespace comparisons with this patch.

econet: Use sock_orphan() instead of open-coded (and buggy) variant.

2008-06-17T10:01:47+00:00

It doesn't grab the sk_callback_lock, it doesn't NULL out
the sk->sk_sleep waitqueue pointer, etc.

net: Allow netdevices to specify needed head/tailroom

2008-05-13T03:48:31+00:00

This patch adds needed_headroom/needed_tailroom members to struct
net_device and updates many places that allocate sbks to use them. Not
all of them can be converted though, and I'm sure I missed some (I
mostly grepped for LL_RESERVED_SPACE)

[NET] NETNS: Omit net_device->nd_net without CONFIG_NET_NS.

2008-03-25T19:39:53+00:00

Introduce per-net_device inlines: dev_net(), dev_net_set().
Without CONFIG_NET_NS, no namespace other than &init_net exists.
Let's explicitly define them to help compiler optimizations.

[NET]: Convert init_timer into setup_timer

2008-01-28T22:53:35+00:00

Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer->function
and  timer->data together with calling init_timer(timer). There
is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code.

The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter
(98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)).
